AM - 12 miles. 3 up, 10K Tempo in 32:31 (5:14/mile avg), 3 down. Did this workout a little east of Heber on the roads - the elevation ~6000 feet made it a little tougher than I expected. I was thinking ~32 flat would be a good time for this workout, but then I remembered that workouts at 6K are harder than easy long runs at 6K! I like how all the "blocks" out here are almost exactly 1 mile long. Zig-zagged back and forth so the miles alternated b/w gradual downhill and flat/uphill as you can tell by the splits. The first half-mile had a good amount of downhill - I didn't go out too fast and fall apart :-) Andrea biked with me so that made the run pretty nice. Now off for a fun day w/ the family.
Splits - 5:02, 5:25, 5:17, 5:09, 5:06, 5:24, 1:07.
PM - 6 miles |
